I believe my 1964 \6 choke bimetallic spring is broken – Can anyone confirm?

To All:

I've had the original question answered definitively both inside and outside this forum, so I feel it's settled.

I'm always happy to talk about things, but no need for speculation on this specific point –
As AJ said, it's not broken, and something in my carb is resisting the choke opening.

Thanks!
